WikiPedia] 3 Doors Down is an American rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi. Formed in 1996, the band's founding members were Brad Arnold (lead vocals and drums), Matt Roberts (lead guitar and backing vocals), and Todd Harrell (bass guitar). The band's music combines post-grunge, hard rock and alternative rock.
3 Doors Down achieved mainstream popularity with their 2000 debut single, "Kryptonite", which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The song preceded their debut album, The Better Life (2000), which became the 11th-best-selling album of that year, received septuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and spawned two additional Billboard Hot 100 entries: "Loser" and "Be Like That". Their second album, Away from the Sun (2002), continued the band's success, debuting at number eight on the Billboard 200 and spawning the Billboard Hot 100 top-five singles "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You".
The band's third and fourth studio albums, Seventeen Days (2005) and their self-titled fourth album (2008), both debuted atop the Billboard 200 and received platinum certifications by the RIAA. The band's fifth album, Time of My Life (2011), peaked at number three, and their sixth album, Us and the Night (2016), peaked at number 14.
The band is without any of its three founding members, leaving rhythm guitarist Chris Henderson (who joined 3 Doors Down in 1998) as the only member from The Better Life lineup remaining. Bassist Todd Harrell left the band in 2013 after a vehicular homicide charge, guitarist Matt Roberts died in 2016 from a drug overdose, and lead singer Brad Arnold died in 2026 from kidney cancer.
